Using ivman, automounting of my mp3-disk(usb) didn't work, because it was trying to mount with utf8 option as declared in /usr/share/hal/fdi/90defaultpolicy/storage-policy.fdi (Use UTF-8 charset for vfat) dmesg | tail gave the following complaint: sda: sda1 Attached scsi removable disk sda at scsi1, channel 0, id 0, lun 0 Attached scsi generic sg0 at scsi1, channel 0, id 0, lun 0, type 0 usb-storage: device scan complete FAT: utf8 is not a recommended IO charset for FAT filesystems, filesystem will be case sensitive! Unable to load NLS charset utf8 FAT: IO charset utf8 not found FAT: utf8 is not a recommended IO charset for FAT filesystems, filesystem will be case sensitive! Unable to load NLS charset utf8 FAT: IO charset utf8 not found After commenting the utf8 stuff, it worked great. It would be nice if things just worked at default values... System: Gentoo Linux Hal version: 0.4.7 Ivman: 0.5_pre2 Dbus: 0.23(-r2)
I changed this in CVS for the 0.4.x tree. In current HAL version/tree (0.5.x) this is no longer present. 2005-11-08 Danny Kukawka <danny.kukawka@web.de> * fdi/90defaultpolicy/storage-policy.fdi: fixed fd.o bug #2509 changed for VFAT from *.iocharset=utf8 (is not recommended, see: /usr/src/linux/Documentation/filesystems/vfat.txt) to *.utf8=true
